ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Here are notes from last night's Dallas Cowboys game at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

New York kicker Lawrence Tynes nailed a 37-yard field goal as time expired -- for a 33-31 victory for the Giants.

-- At least 41 people were arrested on public intoxication charges during and after the game. Arlington police say two people were arrested for fighting. Three people who were suspected of driving while intoxicated near the stadium also were arrested.

-- Former President George W. Bush of Dallas, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and LeBron James were among a packed house of a record-setting -- for a regular-season game -- of 105,121 that saw eight lead changes, with neither team ever ahead by more than six.

Bush and his wife, Laura, handled the coin toss, then watched from a luxury suite that also included Goodell, John Madden and Pat Summerall.

The crowd included up to 30,000 fans in standing-room party plazas at either end of the new $1.15 billion stadium.

-- Ex-Cowboys Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin were among those taking part in a halftime ceremony to unveil the new Ring of Honor.
